A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did
for a living.
"Tim, you be first," she said. "What does your mother do all
day?" Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."
"That's wonderful. How about you, Amie?" Amie shyly stood up,
scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman."
"Thank you, Amie," said the teacher. "What about your father,
Billy?" Billy proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays
piano in a whorehouse."
The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to
geography. Later that day, she went to Billy's house and rang
the bell. Billy's father answered the door. The teacher
explained what his son had said and demanded an explanation.
Billy's father said, "I'm actually an attorney. But how can I
explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"
